How a Briggs & Stratton Standby Generator Works

Automatic Backup Power in Less Than 30 Seconds

A home standby generator is permanently installed on your property and connected to either a natural gas utility line or liquid propane tank. The system includes a standby generator and an automatic transfer switch connected to your home's electrical panel. The transfer switch monitors utility power and, when it detects a power loss, automatically starts the generator and transfers your home to backup generator power in under 30 seconds.
